These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Mar. 31, 2015
Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date by one year. If approved, the guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and if so, disclose that fact. Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for us in 2017 and will be applicable to both annual and interim reporting periods. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on presentation of extraordinary items. The new guidance eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidation. The new guidance changes the way an entity evaluates whether (1) it should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (2) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (3) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of an entity require the entity to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated liability. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Tabular disclosure of changes in accounting principles, including adoption of new accounting pronouncements, that describes the new methods, amount and effects on financial statement line items.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

(3) Share-Based Compensation Plans

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $6.7 and $10.8, respectively, related to stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock and performance share units. Consideration received from share-based awards was $12.2 and $6.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense in selling and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award.

Our annual grant of share-based compensation generally takes place during the first quarter of each fiscal year. The number of shares underlying grants to all employees and the weighted-average fair value per share for shares granted during the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 are presented in the table below:

Restructuring Costs

(5) Restructuring Costs

During the first quarter of 2015, we made payments of $3.6 out of our restructuring reserve that was created in 2012 and 2013. We expect a majority of the remaining $9.3 reserve will be paid by the end of 2015.

Changes in the restructuring reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	6) Income Taxes We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 41.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to an effective rate of 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The 2015 rate was unfavorably impacted by the strengthening of the United States dollar, which caused a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily a decrease in non-U.S. income, which typically has lower tax rates. The 41.5% effective tax rate in the quarter was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35%, and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 38%, due primarily to the French business tax, expected repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items. As of March 31, 2015, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $31.4. We had related tax benefits of $1.4, and the net amount of $30.0 would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $30.8. We had related tax benefits of $1.4 for a net amount of $29.4. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. We conduct business globally in 80 countries and territories. We are routinely audited by the tax authorities of the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that could be subject to examination are 2008 through 2014 for our major operations in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. As of March 31, 2015, we are subject to tax audits in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway and Spain. We believe that the resolution of these audits will not have a material impact on earnings.

(3) The majority of the Corporate balance relates to goodwill attributable to our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is now part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments as this is commensurate with how we operate our business. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

(12) Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We are exposed to various risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Among these risks are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, which can be managed through the use of derivative instruments. In certain circumstances, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on our cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We have historically managed interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. In accordance with current accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities, we record all of our derivative instruments as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value.

A portion of the €350.0 ($375.5) notes due June 2018 were designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries with a Euro functional currency as of March 31, 2015. For derivatives designated as an economic hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss associated with foreign currency translation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of taxes. As of March 31, 2015 we had an unrealized translation gain of $5.7, and as of December 31, 2014 we had an unrealized translation loss of $24.5, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

For our forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value is recognized in the current period earnings. These gains or losses are offset by the exposure related to receivables and payables with our foreign subsidiaries and to interest due on our Euro-denominated notes, which is paid annually in June. We recorded a gain in interest and other expenses of $0.2 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and an immaterial gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, associated with those forward contracts, which offset the loss and gain recorded for the items noted above.

On occasion, forward contracts are designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015 we had a translation loss of $0.1 included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

The fair value measurements of those items recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	March 31, 2015		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets
Deferred compensation plan assets	$	85.7	$	85.7	$	-	$	-
Foreign currency forward contracts		0.2		-		0.2		-
	$	85.9	$	85.7	$	0.2	$	-

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	December 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets
Deferred compensation plan assets	$	81.4	$	81.4	$	-	$	-
Foreign currency forward contracts		0.1		-		0.1		-
	$	81.5	$	81.4	$	0.1	$	-

We determine the fair value of our deferred compensation plan assets, comprised of publicly traded securities, by using market quotes as of the last day of the period. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is measured at the value from either directly or indirectly observable third parties.

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the Euro-denominated notes. The fair value of the Euro-denominated notes, as observable at commonly quoted intervals (level 2 inputs), was $419.1 and $471.6 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $375.5 and $423.4, respectively.

This element can be used to disclose the entity's entire derivative instruments and hedging activities disclosure as a single block of text. Describes an entity's risk management strategies, derivatives in hedging activities and non-hedging derivative instruments, the assets, obligations, liabilities, revenues and expenses arising there from, and the amounts of and methodologies and assumptions used in determining the amounts of such items. Also includes the complete disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments, assets, and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the Company is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risk is are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Segment Data [Abstract]

Segment Data

(13) Segment Data

We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis, with Right Management currently operating as a separate global business unit. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct operations and management team, providing services under our global brands, and maintains its own financial reports. We have an executive sponsor for each global brand who is responsible for ensuring the integrity and consistency of delivery locally. We develop and implement global workforce solutions for our clients that deliver the outcomes that help them achieve their business strategy. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager, to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, all of our operations have been segregated into the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; APME; and Right Management.

The Americas, Southern Europe, Northern Europe and APME segments derive a significant majority of their revenues from the placement of contingent workers. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from other workforce solutions and services, including recruitment and assessment, training and development, and ManpowerGroup Solutions. ManpowerGroup Solutions includes Talent Based Outsourcing (TBO), TAPFIN — Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). The Right Management segment revenues are derived from career management and workforce consulting services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole.

In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services included fees received from the related franchise offices of $3.4 for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $168.7 and $169.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(b)

(c)

We evaluate segment performance based on operating unit profit (“OUP”), which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.

The entire disclosure for reporting segments including data and tables. Reportable segments include those that meet any of the following quantitative thresholds a) it's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments b) the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount of 1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or 2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss c) its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies	(14) Contingencies In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded legal costs of $9.0 in the United States related to a settlement agreement in connection with a lawsuit in California involving allegations regarding our wage statements. The settlement agreement was preliminarily approved by the court in January 2015, with a final ruling expected in June 2015. We believe that the settlement was in our best interest to avoid the costs and disruption of ongoing litigation.

[1]	Balances were net of accumulated impairment loss of $513.4 as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
[2]	Balances related to the United States were $450.4 as of both January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015.
[3]	Balances related to France were $76.9 and $68.2 as of January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Balances related to Italy were $5.0 and $4.4 as of January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
[4]	The majority of the Corporate balance relates to goodwill attributable to our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is now part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments as this is commensurate with how we operate our business. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.
